The Dunedin Consort

Founded in 1996 and led by Prof. John Butt OBE of the School of Culture & Creative Arts, the Dunedin Consort is one of Scotland's most highly regarded ensembles. Their recent recording of the Handel Messiah on Linn Records was described by Gramophone magazine as "the freshest, most natural, revelatory and transparently joyful Messiah I have heard" and went onto win two international awards.
